St Mary’s College is a School of Sanctuary member.
St Mary's College was awarded Champion School status by the School of Sanctuary committee, the first school in County Wicklow to achieve such an award, in recognition of the wonderful work undertaken by our SoS team across the last 18 months. A flavour of the work involved can be seen in our School of Sanctuary portfolio below:

This means we strive to make our school as safe, welcoming and inclusive as possible for all students and their families.
By adopting the three Sanctuary Principles, LEARN/ACTION/ SHARE, we are becoming an ever more inclusive and empathetic place of intercultural learning and practice.
We are learning to understand and respond to the challenges and needs of those who seek sanctuary in our school, our community, in Ireland and in the wider world. We celebrate and welcome diversity in all its wonderful forms and colours and we are proud to act as a beacon of sanctuary and kindness in our community.
